Calibrated Typed Decisions for Entity, Relation, and Event Extraction

Yang Wang, Hanlin Xiao, Yanan Ma +2

Information extraction models often perform well on the datasets they are trained on, but transferring to new domains and annotation guidelines remains challenging. Supporting user…

JudgeMoE: Distributional Aggregation for LLM-as-a-Judge

Yiqi Liu, Joseph James, Yang Wang +3

When an LLM judge scores an output, its score distribution retains uncertainty and disagreement information that is lost after scalar compression. We introduce JudgeMoE, a lightwei…

When Tool-Backed Skill Retrieval Fails: Source-Style Collapse in Executable Capability Retrieval

Yiqi Liu, Joseph James, Yang Wang +2

Large-scale agents increasingly rely on retrieval to access external capabilities. We study this retrieval gate in structured tools and APIs, a measurable class of tool-backed exec…

Broken Symmetry in LLM Refusal: Answer Release Is More Local Than Refusal Restoration

Yiqi Liu, Yang Wang, Songxin Wang +2

When a language model refuses to answer a prompt, it is unclear whether the correct answer is erased from its internal representations, or merely suppressed at the output layer. We…

Reading Between the Frames of Multimodal Drivelology

Yang Wang, Yanan Ma, Yiqi Liu +8

Social media videos often communicate meanings that go beyond their visible actions, captions, or speech. A mundane clip may become humorous, ironic, or satire only through the int…

The Achilles' Heel of Angular Margins: A Chebyshev Polynomial Fix for Speaker Verification

Yang Wang, Yiqi Liu, Chenghao Xiao +1

Angular margin losses, such as AAM-Softmax, have become the de facto in speaker and face verification. Their success hinges on directly manipulating the angle between features and…

RIGOURATE: Quantifying Scientific Exaggeration with Evidence-Aligned Claim Evaluation

Joseph James, Chenghao Xiao, Yucheng Li +2

Scientific rigour tends to be sidelined in favour of bold statements, leading authors to overstate claims beyond what their results support. We present RIGOURATE, a two-stage multi…

Drivel-ology: Challenging LLMs with Interpreting Nonsense with Depth

Yang Wang, Chenghao Xiao, Chia-Yi Hsiao +4

We introduce Drivelology, a unique linguistic phenomenon characterised as "nonsense with depth" - utterances that are syntactically coherent yet pragmatically paradoxical, emotiona…

Adversarial Defence without Adversarial Defence: Enhancing Language Model Robustness via Instance-level Principal Component Removal

Yang Wang, Chenghao Xiao, Yizhi Li +3

Pre-trained language models (PLMs) have driven substantial progress in natural language processing but remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, raising concerns about their robust…

Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: Inversion Learning for Highly Effective NLG Evaluation Prompts

Hanhua Hong, Chenghao Xiao, Yang Wang +3

Evaluating natural language generation systems is challenging due to the diversity of valid outputs. While human evaluation is the gold standard, it suffers from inconsistencies, l…

On the Rigour of Scientific Writing: Criteria, Analysis, and Insights

Joseph James, Chenghao Xiao, Yucheng Li +1

Rigour is crucial for scientific research as it ensures the reproducibility and validity of results and findings. Despite its importance, little work exists on modelling rigour com…
